"What exactly is going on?"
Empress Zhu looked at the magpie with a cold face: "Tell me, Zhen Zhaoyi was fine when she came out of Changxin Palace, why did she suddenly fall into the water and become like this?"
It had been some time since Jiang Xinyue fell into the water. All the concubines in the harem who should know about it already knew about it. They stood in the main bedroom of Hexi Palace one after another and saluted the emperor and empress.
Concubine Shu arrived early and had already heard the magpie report the whole story to the emperor.
The queen asked, but before Magpie could answer, she had already stepped forward and said, "Magpie and Shuangjiang insisted that it was the maid in the concubine's palace who pushed Zhen Zhaoyi down. But today is the day when the Queen Mother is worshiping the Buddha, and the concubine had already arrived early. After I went to Kunning Palace, the people who served me also followed me to the small Buddhist hall in Kunning Palace. All the maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace can testify."
Jin Zhaoyi could not bear to see Concubine Shu always looking cold and cold, so she whispered: "The Queen Mother is Concubine Shu's biological aunt. Naturally, he is devoted to Concubine Shu. She is a palace official in Kunning Palace." I’m afraid that’s not enough evidence.”
"Does Jin Zhaoyi mean that the Queen Mother does not distinguish between right and wrong and will favor evildoers?"
"I didn't mean that, I just made a reasonable guess."
It's no secret that the Queen Mother is currently at odds with the Emperor, so what if she disrespects the Queen Mother?
The Queen Mother herself is not here.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Concubine Shu with a heavy look, obviously already doubting her.
Last night, she first looked at Shu Fei's sign, but then went to Hexi Palace on the way. Anyone who is interested can know by checking that it was Zhen Zhaoyi's prayer lantern that attracted him there.
The Queen Mother wanted to help Concubine Shu regain her favor and restore the Wu family to its former glory, and she made a lot of efforts and arrangements for this.
But after a long time, Concubine Shu was willing to accept the emperor again and settle the old feud with him. However, Zhen Zhaoyi came out from nowhere and kept getting in the way between the emperor and Concubine Shu. Naturally, the Queen Mother was also very tired of Zhen Zhaoyi. .
Last night, Zhen Zhaoyi ruined Concubine Shu's good deeds again. Even if Concubine Shu didn't care, what about the Queen Mother?
Emperor Xuanwu also thought of going to the same place as everyone else.
every time……
Every time he had something he loved, as long as his mother discovered it, she would either ask him to give it to someone else or take it away from him by force.
He understood that as an emperor, he should not let others guess his preferences, nor should his loved ones make him lose his due reason and judgment.
But……
He is no longer a child. He has the ability to protect the things or people he loves, and he will not be led by others. He knows how to distinguish between true feelings and falsehoods.
Why?
Why do you have to control his life every time?
He is the emperor, the son of heaven, even the queen mother must act according to his wishes.
Clenching his molar teeth again and again, Emperor Xuanwu said with a solemn face: "It is my decree that I will make Zhen Zhaoyi my concubine."
Didn’t the Queen Mother want to kill Zhen Zhaoyi?
He wanted to protect her under his wings, give her supreme honor and favor, and make everyone envious and jealous, but he did not dare to attack her.
Not to mention how the Empress Dowager felt when the news of Feng Zhen Zhaoyi being concubine reached Kunning Palace. Concubine Shu fell to the ground and cried in embarrassment: "The emperor's move has angered my concubine. ?”
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Xuanwu glared at her: "Are you questioning me?"
However, Concubine Shu stood up and stood up straight: "This is not the first time that I have been so arrogant. The emperor always indulged me in the past and said that it is very rare for me to have such a true temperament. Now that I have shown my true nature again, Let me ask for former Ye Lang and Rong Er, do you... don't believe in my concubine?"
If you love deeply, you must believe it.
But if a man doesn't love you anymore, asking this kind of question again is just asking for self-humiliation.
A trace of tenderness flashed between Emperor Xuanwu's brows, but when he caught a glimpse of the unconscious Jiang Xinyue, he calmed down: "What do you believe in you? Do you believe that you are not deliberately trying to please and flatter me for the sake of the Wu family? Do you believe that you have never had feelings for me? Do you believe that you and Like the Queen Mother, you only have the Wu family in your heart?"
Concubine Shu is just another queen mother.
He kept asking questions, which made Concubine Shu feel confident.
Maybe she didn't love him once, but after ten years of constant tenderness and pampering, how could she not be moved?
After all, she is just a weak woman.
The Queen Mother entrusted her with the responsibility of raising the Wu family. The hatred of her father's murder tortured her, and she was already exhausted physically and mentally.
"Ahh..."
One of the concubines screamed.
With a death wish in her eyes, Concubine Shu took out a golden hairpin from her hair and inserted it directly into the side of her neck. The sharp hairpin pierced into the flesh without hesitation, and blood spurted out. Emperor Xuanwu rushed over and snatched it away. He threw it to the ground: "Are you crazy?"
Concubine Shu smiled bitterly: "I wish... I wish to die to prove my innocence. I have never... never harmed Zhen Zhaoyi..."
"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
Empress Zhu's face was full of concern: "Your Majesty, please take Concubine Shu back to Jingren Palace! Zhen Zhaoyi has a concubine here, and everything will be fine."
The emperor had just said that Zhen Zhaoyi should be granted the title of concubine, but Concubine Shu and the queen only called her Zhen Zhaoyi, and they did not want to agree to the emperor's promotion of Zhen Zhaoyi!
Except for Concubine Shu's biological sister Rong Concubine, no one in Dayan's harem had such treatment.
Concubine Rong relied on the Wu family and the Queen Mother who were at the height of their power at that time, while Zhen Zhaoyi relied on herself.
All the concubines in the harem were thinking that they only hoped that the emperor was just out of anger and did not really want to be promoted to Jiang Xinyue.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Concubine Shu, who was bleeding profusely, and then at Jiang Xinyue, whose face was as golden as paper. He let go of Concubine Shu's hand and pushed her into Empress Zhu's arms: "No, the empress will take Concubine Shu back to the scene." Ren Palace is treating her, I will stay with Zhen Zhaoyi here, she is timid, she will be scared if she wakes up and doesn’t see me."
Queen Zhu opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Not daring to delay any longer, Empress Zhu immediately asked the imperial doctor from Fengen Rutai Hospital to go to Jingren Palace. She helped Concubine Shu get on her own chariot and hurried to Jingren Palace.
In fact, if the emperor really meant it, he should not have moved the seriously injured Concubine Shu.
There were three imperial doctors in Hexi Palace who diagnosed and treated Zhen Zhaoyi, and one of them came out to treat Concubine Shu. Stopping the bleeding and bandaging her in the side hall would ensure Concubine Shu's safety.
Why sacrifice the near for the far?
It was just that he felt that Concubine Shu committed suicide in front of Zhen Zhaoyi's bed, and it was unlucky to see blood, so he was angry at Concubine Shu's behavior.
Their emperor, love makes him live, hate makes him die.
"Ta! Ta! Ta!"
A few drops of rainwater dripped into the water tank holding seven or eight koi fish. After a while, the sky darkened, heavy rain poured down, and the cold air enveloped the entire palace.
"It's a pity, she was always lucky."
Sitting in the main hall was a palace concubine dressed in gorgeous clothes. She turned her back to the entrance of the hall, and her tone was not at all frustrated or excited: "Has everything been dealt with?"
The palace servant who was kneeling on the ground replied: "It has been dealt with completely, and we will definitely not be able to find anything to do with you."
The palace concubine chose a gold hairpin and put it on her head: "She won't... have such a good luck every time."
